Satrix, South Africa’s leading provider of index-tracking investment products, walked away with 10 accolades at the 2026 South African Listed Tracker Awards (SALTA), hosted at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in Sandton on 24 March 2026. The wins span total investment returns, tracking efficiency, capital raising and the People’s Choice Awards, where South Africans vote for their favourite local and offshore exchange-traded products (ETPs).

Now in its ninth year, SALTA is an industry initiative led by independent service providers to South Africa’s ETF market, including etfSA.co.za, ProfileData, the JSE and LSEG. The awards don’t only reward strong long-term performance; they also recognise the behind-the-scenes “craft” of building index-tracking products that are efficient, liquid and dependable for investors.

That “craft” is measured in practical ways. Alongside performance categories spanning three to 10 years, the organisers assess three-year measures such as how closely products track their benchmarks (tracking error) and success in raising new capital through ETF listings. In practice, it shows up as tighter tracking, better liquidity, and less “performance leakage”, the small differences that can compound into meaningful outcomes over time.

Satrix’s SALTA 2026 Award Highlights Include:

• Total Investment Returns, Ten Years, SA Equity, Satrix RESI ETF
• Total Investment Returns, Five Years, SA Equity, Satrix RESI ETF
• Total Investment Returns, Five Years, Foreign Non-Equity, Satrix S&P Namibia Bond ETF
• Tracking Efficiency, Three Years, SA Non-Equity, Satrix TRACI 3-Month ETF

• Capital Raising, Three Years, SA Equity, Satrix Capped All Share ETF

• People’s Choice, Offshore ETP, Satrix MSCI World ETF

Investor Favourites, Locally And Globally

Satrix’s flagship Satrix Top 40 ETF, South Africa’s first locally listed ETF, remains a core building block for investors looking for simple exposure to the 40 largest companies on the JSE. On the offshore side, the Satrix MSCI World ETF continues to resonate with investors seeking diversified access to developed markets without the admin complexity of moving money offshore.

Yusuf Wadee, Head of Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) at Satrix, says the continued recognition highlights the role that ETFs play in modern portfolios. “Investors are increasingly using ETFs as the building blocks of long-term investing: transparent, rules-based and easy to understand,” he says. “At Satrix, we’re focused on making those building blocks accessible to more South Africans, through competitive products, strong marketing, and our platform SatrixNOW that removes traditional barriers to getting started. We are very honoured by these accolades.”

Satrix’s strong showing at SALTA 2026 adds to a long track record of recognition for performance and excellence in indexation, underscoring its purpose of democratising investing and helping more people to “own the market”.
